Apr 4, 2004 Deep golden out of the bottle with a foamy egg shell head and lots of sticky lace. Subtle nose of grainy malts. Fruity flavors of apple and orange with a dusty grain note. Almost harsh pine and grass hop finish. Easy to drink with its medium body. Good session beer. Thanks to 123456green for the bottles.

Mar 3, 2004 Bright orange-gold color, smooth, quaffable. Some orange flavors come out towards the finish. Not too exciting.

Dec 30, 2003 Bottle. Amber beer with a decent head that quickly falls. Slight citrus aroma, but the taste is more a grassy/floral hop with an underlying caramel. Dry finish and easy to drink.

Dec 28, 2003 Clear copper. Musty aroma of cardboard-like malts, some pine hop smells and cedar chips. Palate is regular with a dry finish. Flavor tastes like a bottle, un-fresh, corn-like but with some good woody hop flavors.

Dec 20, 2003 Pours a light honey color with a respectable head that quickly disapates leaving a trace of a lace but not much more. Lots of carbonation at the begining.
Smells citrusy and flowery.
Tastes...okay. The hops don't overwhelm by a long shot. There's a mineral aftertaste that's nice. Citrus flavors are present. Nothing special at all.
Mouthfeel is full and foamy. Drinkability is pretty good.
Bottom line: Not a bad offering but nothing about this beer is really notable. I like the brewery and for that it's worth a try, but other than that you're not missing much.

Nov 29, 2003 Bottled at home. Boring, Boring. Tasted what it should a California APA. Nothing special. Oh did I say it was boring.

Nov 24, 2003 Ho-hum, then yuck. Nice aroma with citrus, perfume, bathroom air freshener, shampoo, and a bit of pine. The color and head were average--amber with some lacing. Strong citrus flavor, and the metallic edge in the finish was noticeable and very unsatisfying, but I started eating an Indian dish and it somehow worked effectively to cut it. Then later I had a sip with a cleaner palate, and gosh, the metallic end was hard to take. Overall, not up the standard set by the other Lagunitas beers.

Nov 5, 2003 Decent APA, with a nice amber colored pour. Hoppy but balanced. A little thin in the body, and had a metallic aftertaste that I didn't care for. Overall, a good example of the style that I would try again.
